My Top 5 Healthy Food Blogs

For the last week, I’ve been hopping planes and carting around more than one painfully expensive suitcase with all my life packed up in it. And by all my life, I mean 23 T-shirts, 10 flip flops, and 2 pairs of shorts shorts because appropriate, well-fitting shorts are insanely hard to find. Which could have something to do with this. Maybe.

While I’m trying to figure my new Filipino life out, I’m going to be introducing you to My Top 5 Healthy Food Blogs. I’m super excited to share these peeps with you, because honestly, they (and their healthy blogs) are amazing.

Check out their sites, follow them on Facebook and Twitter and Instagram, and be happy about eating their fresh, healthy recipes! I will be sweating myself silly and eating fistfuls of leftover M&M’s in between battles with my suitcase that has affectionately been named “The Big Kahuna”. But you’ll be comfortable and healthy and that’ll be really good.

What I like: Jenna for her down-to-earth blog personality and heart of faith, pretty food photos, and lots of yummy vegetarian and vegan recipes in between posts about meat and dessert. This girl knows healthy balance.

What I like: Emily, even though she left me shaking in my Minnesota boots for sunshine and avocados in California, a section called “Build it Better” with ideas for healthifying your favorite foods, and specific tips for what to eat when training for a marathon. Which I’m not doing. But still.

What I like: Erin (yes, Erin, not Ella) for being smart about veggies, tons of healthy vegetarian recipes that don’t feel vegetarian, and simply gorgeous photography that makes me want to live on a farm.

I cannot end this post without giving you Alex and Sonja’s recipe for Balsamic Strawberries with Greek Yogurt because it’s pure healthy genius. It sounds weird, I know it sounds weird, but it’s to die for.

When they made it for us last summer, I privately panicked. I’m more of a sugar and butter and flour girl. But then something amazing happened: I legitimately felt like I was eating dessert.

Balsamic Strawberries with Greek Yogurt

Follow, tweet, like, and make all their yummy food because they’re awesome! All 5 of ’em!

Meanwhile, I’ll be using my pocket dictionary to order 6 plates of mango peach pies from Jollibee (the Filipino equivalent to McDonald’s), cause that’s how they roll here. I’m think I’m going to get along just fine.

What I in fact concern myself most about is health ideas.
By myself, I signed up for newspapers oriented toward this subject matter, and I continue informed about the most recent wellness studies.
In what way is this important? Personally I think
there’s no more critical emphasis for my energy. Also, this blog seems as though it’s well
worth my time to read. I sift through thousands or more of blogs weekly.
Truth be told, my backbone almost always hurts and I desire a brand-new spare time interest.

lol In any case, I believe if everybody composed blogs about their unique time in the world, and did so clearly, we’d have
a much more cool world. http://health-topic.com/
